10YFan

KEW Planning completed the 10Y Fan challenge starting at 18.00 on 9 May, hiking through the night up and down Pen Y Fan mountain until 16.00 on 10 May. Conditions were poor with zero visibility from the fog and mist.  The wind was strong keeping conditions very cold – it was all worth it raising money for the wonderful Tenovus Cancer Care / Gofal Canser Tenovus

MD Kathryn Williams MRTPI commented ‘This challenge really pushes you to your limits, Iwan Evans did particularly well doing all 10 climbs. Rhys Dearman also made a stellar performance with 6 climbs, while I managed to complete 4 climbs. An astounding 80 miles combined and over £1,050 raised for Tenovus Cancer Care / Gofal Canser Tenovus. I am more than proud of this achievement and great teamwork. Thank you so much to my fellow teammates. The organisers of this event were also amazing, staying on top of the mountain for 25 hours!’

For clients that also need assistance understanding the planning system, KEW Planning helps by setting out the legislation used and requirements that are necessary for planning applications and what can fall within permitted development.

Education Involvement

It is extremely important to attract young people into planning, with the profession having high demand for skilled people to deliver a responsive service. At KEW Planning we recognise this and are thrilled to show students the immense opportunities that town planning can offer.
